Security Products publishes Ralph C Jensen editorial entitled
"IN October 2006, the Baton Rouge, La., Fire Department conducted a week-long training exercise to test its
Virtual Command Technology when responding to a fire. This was the first time the technology was tested by a city department.
VCT is not just another alarm system. It is the future of intelligent incident management.
According to officials at NetTalon Security Systems, the technology is three-pronged. First, it networks a protected
facility to 911 fire dispatch for instant notification and a virtual look inside the building to validate an actual incident.
It also allows fire officers to virtually view fire in a building from mobile data computers while en route.
And finally, at the site of the fire, it provides the fire-ground commander a continuous view of the fire’s behavior.
This enables precise deployment of engine companies during attack, rescue and ventilation operations." ...
